yep, i live about 10 minutes away. what do you want to know? they have mixed a bag of reviews, some love them, others hate them. personally i have never bought from them, bro in law was looking at a Z4M there and they were very helpful etc.

What you looking at there? if i get time i can do a drive by check for you if you want,

Hi, thanks for reply. I'm jusdt gathering info on them, as I'm interested in their D3 touring for sale, but I find it too expensive...I might go soon for a test drive.

cheers

personally, i would go there this weekend, 1 week until xmas, they wont be expecting to sell much for the rest of the month. its the end of financial quarter and potentially for them the end of fiscal year too. if they are not flexible on pricing now, they never will be!

PS. if you do go, its a proper pain in the ass to find in the middle of nowhere with lots of single track roads, so if its snowing like it is today in newbury, dont bother! you wont get there!

I had to sue them recently as they refused to fix a problem on my car under warranty, I won of course and it cost them more then if they had just fixed the bloody thing in the first place.

I would not recommend using them at all, from my personal experience of them.

the above is the bad stuff i have heard, their aftercare has something to be desired.

Hi there,

I bought an M3 from them once. He does really good deals when buying the cars but I can't advise on after care. The warranty they offer is naff, at a cost of a £300 for 12 months warranty which only covers you for damage of £1000.00 and then you have an excess as well, waste of time. My advice, buy a car from them and use a third party company for warranty.

I hope this helps!
